Well, I have GPS too, but with the price of gasoline as high as it has
become, my trips will be few and far between. My latest fill-up was $66.00!

The government found a way to kill the Electric Vehicle (EV) program in
2002-2003. Starting around 1999 EVs such as the General Motors EV-1, the
Honda EV-Plus, the Toyota RAV4-EV, The Nissan Ultra, the Ford Ranger EV, the
Chevrolet S-10 EV, and others had been developed to the point where they
were being mass produced, some with a 100+ mile range between charges (at
freeway speeds), and without consuming an ounce of gasoline. By now, with
the rapid improvement of battery technology, that range would have been
doubled. But by 2003 nearly all of them were called back from their leases
(none were sold outright), cut up or otherwise destroyed, and production was
stopped. Do a Google search for a used EV. You will be lucky to find a
single one, and the ones you will find are the 25 MPH so-called
"neighborhood vehicles" that are nothing more than glorified golf carts.

Of course there are a few hybrids being produced now, but the only ones with
any decent fuel mileage is the Toyota Prius and the Honda Insight. No
American car manufacturer has anything that compares, not even the Ford
Escort hybrid (whose gas mileage is less than exciting).

Too bad about the lack of planning and foresight, and too bad about the
unfavorable consequences that lack is having on our foreign oil dependence
and new technology such as GPS.

I've got to make a comment on this to good to let this pass by. You
shouldn't complain about gas prices, in Europe most countries are up
to 1.50 EURO a liter. My regular fill-up are US$ 180 a week.

        Stop the race-to-the-bottom bull. When I can get some of the
social services and vacation benefits you enjoy, I'll pay those
prices, but not before.

Totally agree with you but our Swedish taxes are most possible the
highest in Europe at a mere 55% based on income. I assume with what I
pay I deserve som extra vacation among other benefits.
